  1. She actually hasn't. Bernie is the only one with the guts to say that having private health insurance companies for base care is immoral.
  2. Yang holding a lottery up here
  3. I at least Warren is genuinely a better person who wants to help the poor more than Kamala and pretty much every other candidate besides Bernie.
  4. It really does seem like she's trying to put out a slightly ambiguous plan to see how people react. Certainly looks a lot better than Kamala's pile of shit though.
  5. I will be enthusiastically supporting her if she continues the single-payer talk. Hoping like hell she doesn't pivot if she gets the nominee then backtracks on it.
  6. The others that have announced aren't that much more progressive honestly. Keep in mind the campaign he ran was supposed to be the first true test against Trump in a special election where turnout was going to be lower than any November election. I lived in GA-06 at the time and voted for him (met him briefly at a campaign event), he will have a ton of name recognition, especially in the Atlanta metro, and hopefully will run on more than "cut government waste." I think he'll run on more (probably marginally) progressive issues, he's already come out against Citizens United which was more than anything he said back in 2017. McBath who beat Handel isn't that much different other than being for gun reform, she hasn't even come out in favor of impeachment because this district must be too important for Pelosi to gamble on. I really have been disappointed by her.
  7. Probably could use a catch-all leftist thread, but I had to share this. CAP and Neera Tanden are fucking garbage.
  8. Mike Scott wasn't taking shit from trashy Eagles fans lol.
  9. Fucking insane, I know someone will defend this but there is no way in hell you could require this now during a humanitarian crisis.
  10. Would fucking love it if all of us millennials voted at historic numbers in these primaries. 2018 was a great turnout for us younger people

    NFL Week 1

    The couple of years he's had a good line he's been good, this shit is fucking garbage today. Just fucking tank, we're not sniffing the playoffs under these coaches.
  12. ICE fully committed to becoming the gestapo
  13. Hell yes, good Lord does a height advantage matter.
  14. That was very nice to see. My GS Eagles were getting buttfucked almost instantly on every snap last week.
  15. College Football - Let's Having Some Fun!
  16. WHY THE HELL do you lineup in shotgun? Just pushed them two yards from under center.
  17. Monken is so damn good
  18. Most of that has been rightfully put in the appropriate threads where it belongs, I think most of us would be appreciative if you'd keep your drive-by shit in the Bernie thread like you've done in the past. I'm not even referring to tweets of articles that are critical, but just random-ass twitter users who have no real influence over anything.
  19. That's fine, you're just being annoying as everyone else claims the Bernie supporters are by posting random tweets from DSA twitter in this thread to try and start arguments.
  20. Could your weird-ass at least stop posting random tweets in this thread? I'm sure we could all find randoms on twitter that say some annoying shit for any candidate.
  21. As far as I can tell, yes a lot of his teammates like him.
  22. This team fucks Magic number is now 15
  23. If I make it back there I will, but I live in Georgia now closer to my parents and siblings since my wife wanted to be near one of families before we had a kid. These aren't fantasies, there is actual research that is having to be screamed at us now so that we'll stop trying to kick the can further down the road. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/08/climate/climate-change-food-supply.html https://www.thenation.com/article/climate-change-media-humanitarian-crises/ And here talks about one study that is estimating thousands in the US alone could die during a catastrophic heat wave in the near future if emissions are barely curbed. India is already seeing more and more deaths from heat waves as each year has passed recently. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/climate-change-heat-waves-deaths-cities/
  24. I dropped out of grad school with over 10,000 in debt and I had to work for a few years making not much more than the federal minimum wage (temp jobs then a low paying salary at the American Cancer Society and then a toxicology lab) before taking a risk and trying to become a software developer without incurring another several thousand dollars of debt in attending some coding bootcamp. I had to ask my parents to help pay my rent for a few months and I just finished paying off my student loans after having saved for several years. I have been desperate, I am aware of the pain, and I'm much more keenly aware of what's at stake if we don't make sacrifice.
  25. I have a financial stake in this too. I'm a software developer for a company in the energy sector who deals with installation and monitoring of generators at sites, 90% of which are diesel fuel. We're slowly trying to work towards "microgrid" sites that use solar to push energy to generators that run at a base load (when sunny) and backup battery power, but it's quite possible a quick shift my cause our company to cut me and the rest of the monitoring team. I'm willing to make a sacrifice because I want to see my daughter still enjoy this world as it more or less is now (some change is already irreversible), if I had to change careers again then fucking so be it because the alternative is going to mean death to millions of people in central america, the middle east, the indian subcontinent.
